Come along to the water
Come along to the sea
Take my hand we’ll be happy
Take my hand, we’ll be free
Come along to the meadow
So long you’ve been loving me
Didn’t know how to take it
Didn’t know how to be
It’s so easy now
It’s so easy now
Paying our dues was no fun
But now it’s done!
Come along to the forest
Don’t be barking up the wrong tree
Take my hand and I will show you
The river that runs to the sea
You know you’ve got to keep on trying
Never falter in your quest for the sublime
Just look around and it will be there
You will find it in time
It’s so easy now
Stronger, stronger
We are stronger!

Beautiful Child

Beautiful child
Through the day, through the night
It’s alright
Beautiful child
Every day, every night
You’re just right
Beautiful child
Everything’s gonna be alright
Beautiful child
But I worry about you
Even when I know the answers
I worry about you
Feel the edge that’s coming to get you down
I worry about you
Wish I could make you stronger
But why should I worry
When you love me like you do?
Beautiful child
But I worry about you
Sometimes when I can feel what’s comin’ on
I worry about you
See your eyes go so stony cold on me…
I worry about you
Wish I could make it better
But why should I worry
When I love you like I do?
Beautiful child

All For You
04:56

I’m so sick of being
So hung up on you
My head must overrule my heart
I’m so sick of being
So hung up on you
It’s time to make a brand new start.
It’s so hard wanting you
But wanting you is what I do
All the time
And they say it’s not true
That we only once love, the way I love you
I’m so sick of being
So hung up on you
My head must overrule my heart
I’m so sick of being
So hung up on you
It’s time to make a brand new start.
When I put on that dress
I go out to impress
It’s all for you
I’d like to get close
Just to somebody else
But it’s all for you
It’s all for you!
Well I’m lying if I say I’m over you now
And I’m trying to think: that was then, this is now
And I’m crying because I have to lose such a friend
And I’m flying in the dream where I hold you again.
I’m so sick of being
So hung up on you
My head must overrule my heart
I’m so sick of being…
It’s time to make a brand new start

Long Way Home
03:22
|
|||
|
I see your face in my mind like a photograph
Stare at my solace and sing you an epitaph
Close to my heart where you always were, always will be,
Wanting for you all the good things that I want for me.
It’s a long way home, when you’re on your own
Although it hurts me to be so far away from you
Time will heal all these stray thoughts I have of you
Send me a letter, if it’s all I may have of you
Send precious words, tell me all that I’ve meant to you
It’s a long way home, when you’re on your own

Forward
04:28
|

|
The only way to go is forward
The only way to go is straight ahead
The only way to go is forward
The only way to go is straight ahead
But it’s hard and it hurts
When the way isn’t clear
And you don’t even know who is with you
And your truth seems absurd
When you speak you’re not heard
And you don’t even know where it’s leading to
The only way to go is forward
The only way to go is straight ahead
But it’s hard and it hurts
When you’ve loved him for so long
And he’s turned his back on the dream you were building
There’s a place in your heart
That only he can own
‘Cos he’s there in the eyes of your children
Well it’s hard and it hurts
When the way isn’t clear
And you don’t even know who is with you
But I know that I’m right
And I know I am strong
To try to follow my heart through the darkness…

Dress Me Up
06:15
|
|||
|
Oh
Dress me up in your stare
I’m bare,
But for the clothes of your eyes
You see me here,
Still giving
You see me here,
Still wanting
You see me here,
Still waiting
Still here, still warm
You touch me inside
Somehow,
With you I melt
Returned to flesh, soul and bone
You see me here,
Still giving
You see me here,
Still waiting
You see me here,
Still wanting
You see me here,
I let go
You see me here,
Into you
You see me here,
I let go
You see me here,
I sink into you.
I sink into you.

Brother

Oh my brother
You took me home
Put my little hand in yours
And you walked me down
And I felt so safe with you
Walking home from school
You always looked out for me
And you always will
Now the God you love
Is takin’ you down
So put your hand in his
He’s takin’ you home
And I don’t understand
Just like that little girl
I think you’re probably
Just too good
For this big bad world
Has your God forsaken you?
As he leaves you to die
I can’t know the reason
And I can’t ask why
Why the God you love
Is takin’ you down?
So put your hand in his
He’s takin’ you home
You’ll live on in me
You always will
You are part of me
I love you still
You will always be
My big brother
Oh, my brother
My dear brother.
And now the God you love
Has taken you down
You put your hand in his
And he took you home
Yeah, he took you home.

Slowly Slow
05:00
|

|
Slowly slow
As you go
Slowly slow
Till you know
Out of the fire comes the cold, seared truth
Glistening and moulded and wet with our tears
Smoothed down and textured with all of our fears
Slowly slow
As you go
Slowly slow
Till you know
Out of the yearning comes the frost-bitten heart
Waiting and wanting and taut with the strain
Dimpled and swollen with all of our pain
So whisper the silent fears you can’t speak
Keep on digging the hole where the treasure still keeps
Do not stay in your sadness, holed up in your plight
But wait for the flooding of warm winter light
Don’t jump on the wagon, don’t fall off the plank
Do not climb the high tower, it might be the wrong one
Just sit with the trouble and wait for the flooding
Of warm winter sun
Slowly slow
As you go
Slowly slow
Till you know
Out of the forest comes the curling vine
We are all entwined in the curling vine
Mirrors of each other in turning time.
